About Egypt Solid Waste Management Center of Excellence

Egypt Solid Waste Management Center of Excellence (ESWMCE) is a world-class applied research and consulting center developed by Ain Shams University's faculty of engineering. ESWMCE is ISO 17025 certified. ESWMCE is the First Place Winner of the National Presidential Smart Green Projects. ESWMCE primary goal is tackling the environmental challenges that face Egypt in the fields of solid waste management, green and circular economies, and environmental strategies through research, promoting innovation, consulting and capacity building.

ESWMCE’s main objectives are:

• Researching the management of different solid waste streams to optimize waste utilization and maximize the generation of renewable energy.
• Planning and developing solid waste management strategies to conserve natural resources and minimize the impact on land, water, air and climate.
• Creating a foundation of applied knowledge, technology and human capital for solid waste management.

SWMCE is the branch of the International Waste Working Group (IWWG) for the MENA Region (IWWG-MENARB), and part of the GERMAN-MENA University Network Group for Waste Management and Circular Economy.

ESWMCE services

The engineering faculty at ASU's Faculty of Engineering (ESWMCE) has four fully equipped laboratories capable of analyzing all types of solid and water waste:

1. Organic Lab
2. Inorganic Lab
3. Thermal Lab
4. Sampling (Mechanical) Lab

These laboratories can perform a comprehensive range of tests on the waste samples, including:

• Mechanical crushing and grinding to reduce the waste into smaller pieces.
• Testing for harmful elements, organic content, calorific value, and other required parameters.
• Ensuring the waste meets the rules and regulations set by the Egyptian government.

This integrated testing and analysis infrastructure allows the ESWMCE to thoroughly assess the waste and confirm its compliance with the necessary standards and guidelines.
